Planning a Breakfast Meeting - TCT

Guide to PLANNING A
Breakfast Meeting at tct
Logistical Information
Program Agendas
Program agendas must be submitted to the
Cardiovascular Research Foundation by
August 30, 2013. Agendas submitted after
that date will not be included in the TCT
Satellite Symposia Guide but will be
posted on the TCT conference Web site,
www.tctconference.com.
Program agendas must be submitted
through our online agenda system. Once
sponsors enter the agenda and click
‘submit,’ the agenda will be sent to CRF
for review.
Upon approval by CRF, the agenda will be
published on the TCT conference Web site,
www.tctconference.com.
The online agenda submission site can be
accessed at industry.crf.org. In order to
create your program in the online agenda
system, you will need to enter your user
name and password that will be provided to
you by e-mail.
If you are unable to locate your user name
and password, please contact Elizabeth
DeVita-Coyle at ecoyle@crf.org.
Food and Beverage
A continental breakfast is included in the
Breakfast Meeting application fee. This includes
coffee, tea, fruit juices, and breakfast pastries
(the Cardiovascular Research Foundation
reserves the right to make minor adjustments to
the menu). Additional menu items may be
ordered through the official Moscone Center
caterer. Breakfast will be served each morning
at 6:30 am. If ordering additional menu items,
the Moscone Center requires that all menus be
ordered by October 4, 2013, and finalized 10
business days prior to the Breakfast Meeting.

Housing
Housing arrangements may be made through
the official TCT Housing Bureau, Convention
Management Resources (CMR), and can be
made online when registering for TCT.
Sponsoring companies with representatives
who are not registered for TCT but require
housing should contact Julie Noto at
jnoto@cmrus.com or 504-872-9805.
Room Setup
Breakfast Meeting rooms are set up with one
head table, one podium, and theater-style
seating for approximately 100 attendees.
This setup maximizes attendance and may
not be adjusted. Breakfast Meeting rooms
cannot accommodate tables for product
displays or demonstrations. Due to security
issues, sponsoring companies will not have
access to Breakfast Meeting rooms until
6:00 am on the day of the meeting.
Signage
The sponsoring company or its organizing
agency is responsible for providing
one 28” x 44” sign to be placed outside the
meeting room. Easels will be provided by the
Moscone Center. Signs for Breakfast
Meetings placed elsewhere in the Moscone
Center are prohibited (with the exception of
the commercial supporter’s booth) and will be
removed and discarded. Signs do not require
approval by the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation nor does the TCT logo need to
appear on the sign. Directional signs to the
Breakfast Meeting rooms are produced and
placed by the Cardiovascular Research
Foundation throughout the Moscone Center.
